The Scare Comments

Thank you Bri Edwards for being here as yet another person from the strange species of atheists.. There is nothing else scaring us other than the fact that the world around us cannot understand the truth of the kind we speak with a million evidences sir. My lines can be read between and you have done it..

if i hadn't read in your bio that you have atheistic views (means you are an atheist, correct?) , i might think that I in the poem is God speaking. of course it could be. just because a poem says one thing, it doesn't mean the poem's author believes or disbelieves that thing. much of poetry and prose is fictional, at least to some degree. anyway, i believe it IS nonfiction that there is a scare in the lives of many, sometimes due to real scary things and sometimes due to imagined scary things. thank goodness [not God; i also have atheistic views] each of us will die some day, putting an end to our individual scares............at least i HOPE death will. :) thanks for writing and sharing. bri p.s. i did NOT think for a second that you were saying there is/was anything scary in PH poems.......even though there probably is in some of them.

Wow...how you are concerned with your poet-friends' writings. You have expressed your genuine thoughts. Can I say awareness create an awe in our hearts?

A fantastic poem written from the core of your heart.

I think the world was always a scary place but if we can live our lives with truth and passion for or our families and friends making our own small world a better place this will have a knock on effect that will ripple out and embrace maybe a less scary place! I really enjoyed this superb write!

Valerie, what I mean is 'despite all your pleasant poetry there is a scare around'. If I have failed to convey any message through this hurriedly executed write, I regret and am appending the second part of it titled 'THE SCARE REVISITED'. Thanks indeed Valerie for your frank comment.

Does our poetry 'scare you Dinesh - much of poetry hopefully lifts the soul above fear. I can sense this as a passionate and intense write, , but am not sure of the message.

When scared, we do things in a frantic manner and that is what I am doing.... But the poetic licence has been misused I think.... Madam Valsa and Aswath thanks indeed for your diametrically polar comments.

While others throng and sing, you are weighed down by the enormous weight of the world like Hercules holding the globe on his shoulders! You often seem to burn in the cauldron of cosmic eventualities! But here towards the end, like an escapist, you run from a world of scare and apprehensions to a mount alien to birds and stars! Come down to join the team of your friends! ! Carry only so much that you can bear! ! The serious tone somehow is dialuted by some personal references! !

I see you lead the pack of good people by your amazing verses and concerns. We are not afraid anymore but if the leader himself is scared, what would happen to others? Aashanaksharamonnu.... I vote 10 sir!
